Very scarce. Originally published in two parts in the Ann. Nat. Hist. Hofmuseums, Wien [See the article listings below] this catalog appears to have had a few copies bound and issued as a separate book. It is an author catalog of the items contained in the large mineralogical library of the Hofmuseum in Vienna through 1909. Several thousand titles of books and articles are listed with (unfortunately) no paginations and no indexes.
